Are the headlight buckets dated to the bus? Does it have the correct headlight lenses? _________________ 58 Coral Red ragtop(Diana's car)

I'm not sure about the date codes. I tried to check, but couldn't remember how to decode them. I'll snap a picture next time. No lenses unfortunately.

Thanks man.
In other news, the rear mat has the 29 part number. It's split in two, but definitely runnable. The rim that was on the back shelf is barndoor, but was dated April 1954. It's green so definitely has some history with the bus . I'm not sure about the dates of the other rims. _________________ Please buy my Treasure |

Here are some photos of the rear brakes. All four drums were stuck as is the trans center section. Nick and I thought it was cool how the oil slinger leads to a hole in the drum. I never knew how that worked. I like that the little clips are present on the lower springs. Seems like a good sign.
The small compression springs on the shoes are missing because they popped off when we pulled the drums.

I was wondering that too... mostly if they are the correct N. American style lights.
Sort of off-topic but what's up with that super tall air cleaner?
I don't recognize that one.

Thanks for the props and CTS wishes. I'm looking forward to getting it down there as well. I'll check out that overly-tall air cleaner and maybe we can figure out what it is. _________________ Please buy my Treasure |

You live here now?? Woot!!
PM me your number. We can arrange a private viewing.
For everyone else- here's a picture to look at. "Lb" for light beige? Or just scribbles?

Yeah Lb is a reach. Usually they spell out a word. I couldn't find any BD standard examples though. _________________ Please buy my Treasure |
